LMAO i love it its typical of this forum!! i said my opinion it was sorted..done with it was NO MORE!!! and all i said was a few facts backed up i might add with quotes from professionals...
THEN..the very people that were briefly banned for bullying this girl last time on a thread where one of them badgered the girl about not having a job etc..jump in to say how bad it is that someone has dared give her an opinion!! what a f***ing joke!!!! its frankly quite funny how some people dare to criticise the way someone is being spoken to (esp when it was as mildly as i put it) when they talk to people how they want to everyday!!
Get the facts straight people. a) i never accused her of lying b) i didn't compare getting a piercing to smoking and drinking (if i did i would be out of order considering i had a few drinks while i was pregnant)
JESUS...i never open my mouth i sit on the fence well now we know why! but its ok to bully others though right??
Fran,
first was thinking of pm'ing you, not to stir up more animosities in the thread, but actually I guess it needs to be in the open.
Just wanted to say that you're not alone with your opinion, and I think it's good that you're standing up for them. It annoys me how people think that a nose piercing (or ear piercing for that matter) doesn't count. And it annoys me how health professionals simply are not clued up about piercings and their risks and therefore still frequently give wrong advice.
Putting a hole in your body is putting a hole in your body, no matter whether it's in the nose, the ear, the navel or anywhere else. A midwife or doctor who claims that a nose piercing is alright, but the belly button wouldn't be shows only that said doctor or midwife knows f-all about piercings (incl. the fact that cartilage usually is more difficult to heal than areas with better blood supply) Next time ask the professional, i.e. the piercer, for their opinion, and definitely don't hide your condition from them.
To those defending 'Jazz/attacking Fran and anyone who comments negatively: get a grip. It doesn't matter how nice a piercing looks. It shouldn't be too much waiting another 6 months to get it done.
